Fighting for liberties

Can there really be a person of integrity at the heart of British politics?Shadow home secretary David Davis has resigned as an MP to force a by-election in his Haltemprice and Howden constituency.He’ll fight the by-election on the issue of the new 42-day terror detention limit and as a fight against the Government’s erosion of civil liberties.“I will argue in this by-election against the slow strangulation of fundamental British freedoms by this government,” he says.
